Remarks. A species described and known only from Zambia ( Schüle & Heins 2013). The single female specimen was checked with one female paratype of this species. There is another species within this genus reported to Angola ( A. mulsanti mulsanti Perroud, 1847 ) which presents a larger distribution throughout central, southern and eastern Africa) ( Háva & Hovorka 2007, Kleinfeld & Puchner 2012). The adult was collected through pitfall trapping within an open secondary forest and is syntopic with some tiger and ground beetles (see S. lucidus strigiceps remarks). It is a new species record for Angola, enlarging its distribution to southwestern Africa.
